Start is intimidating and serious but not too hard. Lovely E1 through the meat of the route. There are two finishes at the top - I went for the direct finish right above the flake, which meant technical hard 5c moves on thin suspect holds and no more real gear after the ledge. E3 because of the end.

It was a period when I was climbing extremely well (for me), and it was only when I was above the overlap that I looked back down to see Tim looking rather tense at the runout. Nice sustained climbing after that. Was graded mid E2 in the guide at the time, not sure I would have attempted it at the current E3.
